Support your local #publictransit advocates - Ohio

New Powerhouse Statewide Coalition Calls on Kasich to Increase Transit Funding | Scene and Heard: Scene's News Blog: ""Ohio's under-investment in public transit, over the past several decades, has left our public transit system lacking," the letter read. "Lack of widespread public transportation limits low-income workers' ability to get to jobs, stunting their ability to support themselves and their families. It also leaves too many people with disabilities as well as those who are aging essentially home bound,
making it difficult for them to access the grocery store, the doctor's office, and to meet their other needs with dignity."
